Flexibility can be very elusive, it seems to come easy for some yogis and for others it can be a great
challenge. Many students find splits to be perhaps the most difficult of flexibility focused postures. In this class, Yuuki will guide you through a variety of poses to help prep you for splits.
If you're not ready for full splits quite yet, this class will offer other postures to help your practice and open your hips. Poses include Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend), Anjaneyasana (Crescent Pose),
Ardha Hanumanasana (Half Splits), Hanumanasana (Full Splits) and more. As always practice safely. Enjoy!
